fixing the stigms Of treschery on parties
who are completely innocent Of so odious
crime. He then described the silua-
ton of the two armies during the final
days Of the siege. The lire OF C0nstruC-
ton was perfect The situation of the
beseiged was desperate. They were run
ming short of provisions aud ammunition,
and were fast becoming demoraIized
The desperate situation Of MeXimil!2E's
army was sufficiently shOWl by the TACT
that the first words spoken by deserters
on arriving at Republican, were request

disciplined were also beginning 20 lack
ammunition. Ga one day there We're only

ton sent by General Diaz

TIE besieged had made lew sorties il
which they had met with temporary sue
cess, which soon, however, deserted
them, and it was understood that they
were preparing for 2 final effort. At this
conjuncture General Esco9eG0 YES one
day notified that one of Msxi-
milian's Officers desired ca interview
with him. EscobeGo at once granted
it snd Colonel Miguel Lop.z, one CT
MeXimilisn's favOrite officers was intro
duced. Lopez explained the nature CT
MS errand in few words. He said he
was commissioned by Macmillan to Of
fer TO deliver tie garrison to EscobeGo
on the condition that the latter should

where q ship would be in readi-

he would engage himself on his
word Of honor never again to
NEEDLE in the affairs of Mexico. General
Escobedo replied that he could make no
such terms, as the orders OF the govern
ment were that the beseiged should
surrender at discretion. Lopez insisted,
saying the beseiged were still possessed OF
sufficient resources to make en- obstinate
and bloody defense. EscObedO, however,
was infexible. He said he was aware
that the Imperialists were preparing for
final assault ard he was ready to
meet it. Lopez then declared that
ne was authorized to make such
terms with Escobedo as he could,
and in the name Of shis chief he
informed Escobedo that. the Republican
army might occupy the convent Of La
Cruz at 8 O'Clock on the following morn

WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING RESISTANCE,
and that Macmillan in person would be
there to surrender himself unconditiOn-
ally. Escobedo put several questions TO
Lopez with the view Of sscertsining if
he was really authorized to make sucn 3

with his answers. After Lopez had re-
tired Esco0edo gave Instructions to Gen
